Minor Modification – MIM 25-047 to M-2 68-5

The project involves a minor modification to an existing industrial zoning designation, M-2 68-5, originally approved in 1968 for a foundry and metal fabrication facility on a 33-acre site in Exeter, California, within Tulare County’s Heavy Manufacturing Zone. The modification, identified as MIM 25-047, seeks to permit the installation of an airless spin head applicator system to apply a ceramic epoxy lining to the interior surfaces of metallic pipes, valves, and fittings for corrosion prevention. This change does not involve expanding the facility or creating new structures but is limited to upgrading equipment to enhance the durability of manufactured products. The project is administratively processed under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and qualifies for a categorical exemption under Title 14, Section 15301, as a minor alteration to an existing facility with no significant environmental impact. The application is submitted by McWane Plant & Industrial, and oversight falls under Tulare County’s Resource Management Agency, with key contacts including the Chief Planner, Environmental Planner, and Project Planner. No federal acquisition regulations apply, and the document reflects a local land use decision rather than a procurement contract. There is no contract value specified, no payment or invoicing system outlined, no packaging or labeling requirements, and no federal award criteria or evaluation factors. The place of performance is clearly identified as 25500 Road 204, Exeter, CA, and the modification was signed off on October 21, 2025, with public posting occurring on October 23, 2025. All administrative and environmental review processes are managed internally by the county without invocation of military standards, federal supply codes, or procurement structures.
